painting company for more than 30 years.

for painting, wallpapering and floor covering. They take on general painting as well as interior
decorating works. They only have 1 seat with different employees. Voorhaen Works employs
four labourers and three managers.
I contacted Ltd Voorhaen - Colour & Decoration after a brainstorm with classmates about
possible observations companies in the area. We came up with the idea that in Hoogstraat in
Herzele multiple companies are located, companies with a marketing function.
In May 2014 I took the initiative to go the company and asked if I could do my observation
tasks there. I contacted with Mrs De Jaegher Francine. She is one of the managers in the
company .She signed all my documents and my GIP-card. She is also my supervisor during my
GIP-tasks.
